Referring of course to the none appearance of characters in the
password entry box. In SuSE - or, at least from 9.1 - it is an
option that can be enabled to hide them but asterisks are the default.
To be honest I have tried a few different distro's but mostly they
are Debian derivatives. The only - in this case vaguely nowadays -
RH derivative I've tried is Mandriva. The asterisks are also enabled
by default on this.
Just another little interesting difference in distro's :-)
